Today is my mom’s birthday, so feels relevant to share my new painting “Anniversaries”- commemorating annual cycles, memories, and our human relationship to ritual. Miss & love you, Mom💙

What’s a small detail in an artwork that spoke to you?
I often include flowers in my work to represent grief or loss. Particularly petals falling on the ground.

While I’ve been working with charcoal since 2010, and oil paint since 2013, I didn’t have the guts to expand into another medium until 2023. I’m so glad I finally did. Pastel feels like the happy middle (and so much easier to take out for plein air than oil)! #rosegarden #portlandoregon #pastel #art
